How we assess your application

Project registration is a prerequisite for participation in the scheme. However, it is important to note that registration alone does not authorize any activities.

To run the project, it is necessary to obtain permits and comply with all relevant state, territory, and local requirements and laws. Failure to do so may result in the denial of BRUs for the project.
